But right now he is the only survivor on his drifting, wrecked spaceship, and when another space vessel - the Vorga - ignores his distress flares and sails by, Gully becomes obsessed with revenge.

But, as he works out his murderous grudge, Gully Foyle also uncovers a secret of momentous proportions ...
